Hi, so disappointed that there was no headway made after viewing the poor relief records. As you think James may have died before registration began, you may never find a record of his death. I looked at the death certificate of William Rennie,who died 4th March 1885. He was the son of William Rennie & Elspet Ingram. As I speculated that his brother, James, was your James I searched for his birth in familysearch. There was a submitted birth/baptism entry for Barbara Rennie 30/5/1822 & JAMES 8/4/1824, both in the parish of Gamrie. More importantly there's an entry for an Elspet Rainie 16/4/1828 in the parish of Fyvie.This ties in with the 1851 census at Steinmanhill. I did search for a will for their father Willam but didn't find one.Pity..
